Renault Online campaign idea Festival de Cannes is quite popular among the urban crowd in India thanks to excellent coverage in all the leading papers and news channels in the country. Renault is one of the official partners of the festival and the celebrities are brought to the red carpet on a Renault car.

Mathrubhumi The problem: Mathrubhumi is India’s ninth largest daily. It is published in Malayalam, the official language of state of Kerala. Mathrubhumi has a daily readership of 6.6 million, which is still very less than its main competitor. As a result its main competitor gets the bulk of advertising budgets of the media agencies. In the Indian Readership Survey, it was found Mathrubhumi had advantages over its competitor in certain areas – among people who intend to buy new TVs, ACs, Refrigerators and Washing Machines. Mathrubhumi wanted a campaign to address the same message
Integrated Print and online campaign idea Since we were dealing with statistics, I felt the best way to communicate the numbers with people is by comparing the stats with respect to their favourite sportsperson

Brand:
Mathrubhumi Yearbook The problem: Mathrubhumi (MB) Yearbook is a reference book for general knowledge and other information just like an almanac. In India, apart from MB Yearbook, there are about four or five brands that releases similar year books every year. So there’s no clear advantage for anyone as the name ‘year book’ is commonly used by all. So the brief was to make MB Yearbook stand out from the rest of the back. Solution: Indians love mythology. Be it the stories from any religion, nothing connects more to Indians than the stories from mythology. The idea is to place the product meaningfully in situations from stories from Bible, Gita etc.
